[sinful moon]

oh also the old text mode intsaller for Arch lol

[idle mica]

So now I gotta know... did I manage to snag first blood on the exam? 🤣

[pliant onyx]

Basically this what I wanted to show

[lament tendon]

That was fast.

[sinful moon]

lol here it is

[naive violet]

I remember LILO

I am still in $CURRENT_YEAR struggling with LILO

[calm cradle]

i buy a premium guys i want to become a soc analyst and was it a good decision?

[naive violet]

It doesn't like my disk

[sinful moon]

I'm actually not huge on grub if I actually have to maintain it

yes let's update the config file and run a command that tells grub to update the real config file

very sensable

[naive violet]

In my experience it tends to just work

But... I wouldn't mess with it

[sinful moon]

indeed but that contrivance kinda bugs me

[rapid merlin]

Was it very blue teamy and investigative ?

[sinful moon]

you can just literally edit the raw config but oh no they warn you strongly not to!

[ancient meadow]

Anything that gets you above 0 or little knowledge is good I'd say. THM isn't super expensive compared to other platforms either.

[vocal oxide]

Thanks Bro

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @mossy river (current: #6 - 1498)

[idle mica]

Very much so, but I've definitely got some feedback about some of the grading and areas of improvement thing it has. Could be one of those "my experience vs what they're trying to teach" sort of things though

[pliant onyx]

Can we see the rep leaderboards?

[naive violet]

Like with sudo?

[eternal roost]

Checking...

[naive violet]

Yep, /toprep in #bot-commands

[pliant onyx]

That's a fire flex

If true

[sick lance]

@mossy river SAL1 is getting a role?

[pliant onyx]

Pog

[sinful moon]

I mean you always can with sudo, and it's needed even for the config file which updates the real config. They just strongly warn you not to edit directly

kids get off my lawn, I'm generating my xorg.conf as one did back in the day

[sturdy pike]

Good read

[idle mica]

Awesome! What would be the best way to share it? I don't want to share too much publicly, of course

[tight sparrow]

how can i make my linux look like this

[sinful moon]

ooh SOC detection, let's see what the heck this is

[tight sparrow]

like the drawing in the console

[eternal roost]

Can I DM?

[idle mica]

Sure, go right ahead!

[sinful moon]

that's neofetch and at the bottom is tmux (it's like a window manager)

afaik neofetch is depreciated, I just don't remember the current fad there

[tight sparrow]

nice i will look into it

[sturdy pike]

Hey @sick lance Do I post this in the bug channel?

[sick lance]

It is

[sick lance]

If you think it's a bug, sure.

[sturdy pike]

Well the font size is bugging me as it's hard to read

[sick lance]

Oh that's Super script.

[grim sparrow]

Done!

[eternal roost]

You have DMs blocked - can you add me to the friends list first?

[rapid merlin]

What is more likely occurrence, someone clones a device or spoofs the name of their device to make it look like it’s your device.

[sturdy pike]

In the context, it shouldn't be there

[idle mica]

Sure, just sent

[naive violet]

Honestly neither?

[sick lance]

Depends.

To get on a network, yeah more likely.

For shits and giggles? Probably not.

[naive violet]

"To get on a network" relies on the access control being MAC address allow-listing

Which like

No

[sturdy pike]

So should I post it in the bugs channel?

[fossil marlin]

hey everyone ! Im currently documenting a project on GitHub but english is not my main language. Does anyone knows the best AI in order to structure my sentences and suppress my (small) errors ? Or does every AI basically can do it at the higher level ?

[calm cradle]

thats true but i want to know that. THM's walktrought is enough for get a job at Soc analyst?

[rapid merlin]

I used to get multiple sign ins on one of my accounts and one was coming up as my device but at a different location. When I changed devices they were still signing in with the name of the old device.

Obviously not knowing I changed my phone

[naive violet]

The geolocation is never perfect

[sinful moon]

gg SOC, yeah this is gross

[upper knoll]

i used things like grammarly at uni that helped a lot

[lament tendon]

I feel like both ChatGPT and Deepseek will manage to properly correct your sentences.
However, keep in mind that both of those will use all the data you input into them!

So don't prompt with any sensitive info.

[calm cradle]

sorry for my english btw i try to better

[rapid merlin]

On an account, they would just spoof the device name right

[fossil marlin]

I'll check it

[fossil marlin]

Yeah I know but it's not an original project so I don't mind them getting my data haha. Thanks a lot for your kind response

[twin ridge]

BLM?

[sinful moon]

what?

[lament tendon]

The thing is classified as a BLM.
I know what a PUP is, but not what a BLM is.

[sinful moon]

It's just some random PUP toolbar

[lament tendon]

Imma just google it.

[sick lance]

James will be best to listen to in this case. 😄

[naive violet]

I thought we left those in 2010 jeez

[sinful moon]

Yeah I have no idea why they label it as such. I thought you were being weird for a sec lol

yeah this is a "very special" user I'll just say

[sick lance]

Nooooo, I've encountered a few pc/laptop with them.

Mostly elderly users.

[rapid merlin]

The point was them still signing in with the old device name after I had changed phones

[sick lance]

Sign out all devices?

[lament tendon]

Huh. I can find Application.Deceptor.BCR and .BLK, but no .BLM.

[sinful moon]

yeah I have no idea, these "virus names" are always kind of bs anyways

[rapid merlin]

It would all sign in as I signed in. Odd I know. Studying hard everyday so I understand more and more.

[lament tendon]

Can you DM me the hash?
VT should have an explanation about that detection type when you click on it.

[naive violet]

Use 2fa. Don't reuse passwords.

[sinful moon]

[naive violet]

Appreciated

[idle mica]

Now we just gotta you that paperwork lol. I think you'll like it!

[sinful moon]

Although if you had a properly advanced OS, your image viewer would have just OCR-ed that hash for you

[naive violet]

OCR is kinda pain

[chilly veldt]

yeah, it's done tomorrow, we need to find a loophole for paying the cert 😄

[naive violet]

Google was like the only good OCR implementation I found, even in a best case monospaced black-on-white scenario

[sinful moon]

idk when my SO was just like "please restore my static IPs which are reserved from the router instead of the client via MAC, with this image as reference", I just copy pasted the MAC address from the image and done

[sick lance]

Samsung had a good OCR for their s-pens.

[naive violet]

Interesting

Handwriting is an interesting case that's sort of different

I bet you could train an AI model for it, easy enough to both generate and validate

[sinful moon]

I've just not had any issues with macOS/iOS's OCR for serif and sans-serif fonts, but fair I haven't messed with handwriting recognitition or attemping to OCR that much

Although having said that I can't resist

[rapid merlin]

im so grateful that my friend recomended tryhacme

aint no wayyyy 0day is mod wtf i didnt knew

[sick lance]

Yup.

I'm the cooler mod though, 0day can't pull off sunglasses. 😎 /s

[orchid dome]

I was calculating points in different rooms, the difference between points you get in each level (easy, medium, hard) is insane

Around 2-3 points in easy, 8-9 points medium

[chilly veldt]

I'll join you tomorrow

Lfg dude

[dawn cliff]

What's with the constant literal freezing and lag on some modules

[full wave]

hey start soc lv1 or sal lvl 1?

which one I will do first

[naive violet]

There's not actually any difference?

[orchid dome]

Then I can’t really see why it happened

So I joined an easy room and a medium room at the same time, noted my points in another window, did one easy answer and checked again, up by 3 points. Then did the medium question, checked again and it gave 8 points

[median thorn]

is there any mod availbe?

[orchid dome]

@naive violet

[topaz topaz]

Just as I thought I'm getting kinda smart I join the cryptography room and get hit with this

"With ϕ(n) = n − p − q + 1 = 31243 − 157 − 199 + 1 = 30888, Bob selects e = 163 such that e is relatively prime to ϕ(n); moreover, he selects d = 379, where e × d = 1 mod ϕ(n), i.e., e × d = 163 × 379 = 61777 and 61777 mod 30888 = 1. The public key is (n,e), i.e., (31243,163) and the private key is $(n,d), i.e., (31243,379)."

Excuse me THM but that paragraph is enough to melt a victorian child's brain

I ignored that part as well, I was like; yeah I will not learn that

[full wave]

?

[orchid dome]

Sal lv1 ? Thats the cert, not a path

You will have to do the Soc lv 1 for that

[rapid merlin]

My cat is playing fetch like a dog. You ever see a cat carry a ball around half the day 😂

[orchid dome]

Lemme check again though, maybe things changed

[full wave]

soc lvl 1 is cert also

[orchid dome]

Ahh, you mean by TCM security

Thats BTL 1 though 🤔

[drowsy dust]

Just finished taking a large dump. Feeling great :) time to study

[orchid dome]

Which company gives soc lvl 1 cert?

[full wave]

THM

[orchid dome]

Thats a path not a cert 😭

[jolly aspen]

Depends where you were looking at points. Monthly point values are dependent on the age of the room. Global points are fixed

[orchid dome]

The cert you get with it is the completion of path cert

[drowsy dust]

SAL1

[drowsy dust]

Yup!

[pliant onyx]

How many points you scored for that?

[orchid dome]

Already read it more than once even explained it to users before. Now how do I explain what I saw 🤣

[little siren]

Ngl it would have been cool to have some sort of discount for the first x to take the cert

[drowsy dust]

I was hoping for a three pointer 😆

[jolly aspen]

Poor arithmetic, or state the room you used so someone else can replicate

[orchid dome]

So Safwan, for learning, you need to do Soc lvl 1 path, if you want to prove you are fit for the role, then go for the SAL1

[round orbit]

How do 24/7 SOC positions work in terms of shifts/hours/rotation etc?

[orchid dome]

For medium, it was Hashing-Crypto101

[full wave]

oh ok

[full wave]

I heard soc positions has no work if u work under big company

[little siren]

Until u have a breach

[idle mica]

It's generally broken down into shifts with about an hour-ish minimum overlap for hand off, but there are multiple ways to do it

[orchid dome]

Did you get the cert? Congrats on clearing the exam 🥂

[round orbit]

How many hours? Am I expected to work on weekends? Would it be unreasonable to ask for weekends off?

[idle mica]

Yessir! Thank you. I think I've used my brain power for the day lol

[idle axle]

Guys i want to get an intership this year is it better to get the SAL1 or BTL1 ?

[round orbit]

On average I mean

I know it varies

[orchid dome]

Ofcourse, have a peaceful sleep 😅

[jolly aspen]

Seems like a fairly biased place to ask that tbh

[idle mica]

It depends on how they're doing it. When I worked at deepwatch as a senior analyst, we were doing 10 hour days with 4 days per week. Some people will cover, say, Tuesday through Saturday and get Sunday and Monday off. It just depends on how it is setup, but you're not going to be working for 7 days straight

[simple fern]

Hi all I'm interested in the new SAL certification, I see it has a duration of 24 hours. How exactly does that work? Do you not get any break time? Sleep perhaps?

[orchid dome]

SAL1 is going to get popular sooner than other certs because TryHackMe’s popularity

[jolly aspen]

You self manage, but you have 24 hour access

[orchid dome]

If you are planning for future (even if 6 months) then SAL1 should be the way

[idle mica]

There are three sections and you can do them at your leisure, basically. It's not 24 hours straight. If you wanna spend like... four or four and a half hours to do the whole thing in one go, you can

[simple fern]

Oh hell no. Poor sleep and being tired is how alerts get missed or improperly handled

[orchid dome]

If its hourly pay, I will take it 💀

[simple fern]

Yeah I looked up the other day. They work in shifts

[jolly aspen]

Yea, after 24 hours straight you get a lunch break of 30 minutes and keep going. It’s not too bad

[idle mica]

Maybe if you clear the queue, you'll even get a pizza party from the local budget pizza place

[simple fern]

🤣

[orchid dome]

The worst that can happen is a breach and you get fired, if not you print money 😂

[orchid dome]

You forgot to mention he also has to contribute some $

[jolly aspen]

A breach isn’t a ding. It’s not identifying it that’s a concern

[simple fern]

Would be an awesome paycheck

[idle mica]

That's dirty lol

[orchid dome]

That’s what I mean actually, a person who hasn’t slept becomes less attentive aka ignores all the flags

[jolly aspen]

PIZZA PARTY!!! Ok now everyone chip into the hat. Anything extra goes to the boss

[idle mica]

Yeah you're not architecting solutions that leave you potentially open to liability in the SOC. It's a matter of handling it correctly when the breach occurs because it will

[rapid merlin]

Boredom is painful icl

[orchid dome]

And you're spending a LOT more time writing than "hacking"

[wary ocean]

its hard to find any tech job without years of prior experience and tons of certs and college experience, at least imo (one thats not a complete shitshow)

If you want to work alone work go for something like farming / ranching lol

or at the very least you'll have minimum social contact

depending on the size of the ranch youll need ranch hands

U arent going to land on google as your first cyber position

Fortunately we're seeing shifts away from hard degree requirements. Take SpecterOps, for instance. They've got a bachelor's degree as a nice to have, but no degree or cert requirements. It's "can you do the job or not?"

Thoughts on that new sal1

Think it will be recognised

[pliant onyx]

Looks cool

[little siren]

Most likely

[idle mica]

But the flip side is HR's view. The only reason I have the job that I currently have is due to my degree because HR thinks "why should we pay X person who doesn't have a degree the same as Y person who does?" We all know it doesn't inherently mean anything, but...

[rapid merlin]

takes years for something to be industry recognised js

[little siren]

Its a matter of time

[sonic mango]

True

[idle mica]

I like it. Very practical and gave me 'nam flashbacks to the SOC trench 🤣

[sonic mango]

Also what is the best note taking software

I know about trillium

[orchid dome]

Do something big, like earn OSCE3 in your bachelors, maybe then you might get your first job at google, even thats not 💯

[idle mica]

The "best" is whatever works for you. I'm a fan of Obsidian, personally

[wary ocean]

theres jobs that has reached back like "yea so this job thatll pay 25 an hour, actually were gonna pay 16 cuz of no degree" like nah if i want 16 ill go to walmart

[rugged kayak]

trilium, obsidian or notion

you pick what you like the best

[orchid dome]

I am having text colouring issues in obsidian, what to do? Like every colour is black💀

[idle mica]

Meanwhile the fact that you went out and taught yourself cool shit doesn't matter 🙄

[idle mica]

uhhhhhhhhhh... I have no idea man lol

That sounds rough

[orchid dome]

The black part or the issue? 💀

[wary ocean]

i get why theyll pay less, i dont have 100% confirmation i know everything in security analytics but still, if i want 16 ill go back to working at home depot and hide in the back or tinker with the bots

[idle mica]

The issue

I don't think I've had that happen before

[rugged kayak]

try installing new theme maybe

[orchid dome]

Wdym? I have 2 community pluggins, file colour and Colored Text. First one works while the other has just black as colour options even when it shows otherwise in the settings

[idle mica]

Sounds like it might be broken. If they have a GitHub for it, maybe check their issues?

[rugged kayak]

oh i thought you have issue with the theme

[wary ocean]

i hate that i got into cyber security cuz id use it as an excuse to tell my exs parents 😅

[orchid dome]

I found a way to change that black text, it requires me to manually edit the RGB each time I am using it 🙂
I will just turn it off at this point

then seen 0days interview and decided that shit kinda cool

[umbral bay]

Probably want to look for a job somewhere else when that tactic is employed (pun intended).

[wary ocean]

i did, i said 25 firm, which was the low end of their job posting

[orchid dome]

The best thing that could have happened , you found your life 😭

[wary ocean]

😅 yea

Defensive certs on THM will be better, offensive, I lean towards HTB 🤷🏻‍♂️

use to work for a warehouse but they had tons of layoffs

[sand trench]

welp that was a huge mess

never messing with grub again after this

yes it took this long for shadow to get back online D:

[stoic quarry]

Evening all

How we all doing

[open ermine]

To @sick lance or MODs, can we have a separate text channel for thm certs or SAL1 - it will be much more convenient because general gets a lot of messages.

[stoic quarry]

Oh no GRUB things, godspeed

[sand trench]

it failed to work at about 22:30 swedish time yesterday
shadow got their computer reinstalled and working at 20:13

[boreal scarab]

Stone ground mustard is the best

[stoic quarry]

Only 22 hours

Good on ya

[open ermine]

@idle mica Congrats, if you have other certs like btl1 or cdsa, how do you compare the exam, content and the overall experience with SAL1

[crystal moss]

Are you from Sweden? Im from Sweden 2, new at THM,, but old HTB user

[tardy garden]

you know when you find time to study , then find a room said it's only 45m and after 3 hours you still struggling !

[sand trench]

yeah shadow is from sweden

[crystal moss]

Tjena Tjena:).

[orchid dome]

What did you do? 😂

[sand trench]

please keep it to english here.... before the mods yell at us

Okey, sure. Sorry.

[zealous shell]

No one was harmed-

[crystal moss]

Dont mess with GRUB...

[orchid dome]

I am getting headache from that message 💀

[sand trench]

yeah on systemd boot now

[crystal moss]

Im sure you fix it.. it is on Vanilla Arch or like EOS or something?

[sand trench]

vanilla arch now

had to reinstall completely

luckly shadows latest backup of their home dir was from earlier yesterday too

[crystal moss]

Ah, i see.

[sand trench]

at about 18:07 swedish time for those wondering exactly when said backup was made

[crystal moss]

Allways backup before upgrades, you can set a hoock with Timeshift so it takes a snap automatic when doing upgrades

[sand trench]

well not really any big reason to backup the root of the file system for shadow

most of their important stuff is in /home on that specific drive anyways

[stoic quarry]

I've never fiddled with backups on my arch installs

[crystal moss]

Ok.

[stoic quarry]

I should probably do that aye

@sand trench what're your go to packages on a vanilla install? I really need to spice mine up, I still think about your waybar

[sand trench]

pika-backup is a great program for /home folder backups

[sand trench]

if shadow knew this their after install script would actually be worth using :P

[stoic quarry]

Thinking of setting a server up in my new place for syncthing backups anyhow,

Lmao, fair enough

[crystal moss]

It is what im going to do in the weekend, det one of my servers to handel backups from my backup drive...

[blazing granite]

@loud marlin Did you have any luck with luks? 😉 😂

[crystal moss]

Btw, SyncThing is great

[stoic quarry]

Jellyfin for jellyfin things
SyncThing for backups/Network storage
Wireguard for getting back home when I need to check any of the above things
Maybe Wazuh on it so I can have experience with Wazuh

Any other fun FOSS recs?

[crystal moss]

Pfsense , Pihole?

[stoic quarry]

pihole would be good yeah,

I have a lot of clientside blocking stuff anyway

[crystal moss]

Ah

[stoic quarry]

But network blocking could be fun. Might break a few things but that's a part of the fun right

[crystal moss]

It is the best part, when it is not working and you have to fix it:)

[stoic quarry]

It is fun, I'll admit

Makes me sound like a very boring person lmao

[crystal moss]

Do you run your things in Proxmox or what?

[crystal moss]

Hehe

[stoic quarry]

Nah not yet. I need to

[crystal moss]

I Love Proxmox

[stoic quarry]

Currently just a broken laptop that runs Jellyfin just fine

[crystal moss]

If it works it works!

[stoic quarry]

Don't care if the screen is broken if it sits in the cupboard all day!

[honest echo]

I have a problem with defence cyber security with the first quiz

[crystal moss]

You can run Proxmox on a crapy laptop if you like.

[stoic quarry]

I may as well right

Just to get exp with it

[stoic quarry]

What's your problem?

[crystal moss]

Good

[honest echo]

With the quiz, i have 8 spaces to fill and i can't get it

Like i tried everything

I can't even send a photo here to explain

[stoic quarry]

You have to verify to send images, what sort of question is it?

[honest echo]

Im on, which team focuses on defensive security

I tried every word

[grave sphinx]

which team ?

[crystal moss]

RedTeam

[grave sphinx]

Blue team is defensive

red team is offensive

[half relic]

Blue team

[honest echo]

Blue team

[grave sphinx]

cmon mr hax0r

[crystal moss]

BlueTeam

[stoic quarry]

if you're missing a character try -

Might be a weird formatting thing

[crystal moss]

Sorry, was reading Offensive

[honest echo]

Nah i tried - even

[crystal moss]

Try with just Blue

[honest echo]

It's soc but it doesn't it says it's not right, nothing else i tried is right to

[grave sphinx]

send a pasteboard link to a screenshot of the question

[trim acorn]

in the #announcements post when i click to the link it says from 255$ but when go to buy page it says 350$ what is this 100$ difference stand for

[honest echo]

With blue it says its too short

[grave sphinx]

You have to put

"Blue Team"

without quotations

[zealous shell]

I think it is 255$ if you have annual premium or else 350$ not sure tho

[honest echo]

it's right

[grave sphinx]

😄

[honest echo]

Thanks but it says from the above not blue or red

[crystal moss]

🙂

[trim acorn]

[honest echo]

That why i got confused

[grave sphinx]

no worries, if u ever get stuck

there are usually walkthroughs on youtube

[trim acorn]

than ill take the cysa+ man for 50 bucks extra

[honest echo]

Ok dude thank you so much i was stuck

[crystal moss]

Now time to look at the serie "Dexter", been missing it before but now im loving it.. cya later.

[stoic quarry]

Lmao have fun

[trim acorn]

"SAL1 costs $349 with training included or $297 for existing premium subscribers." lmao

[little siren]

I agree its a bit pricy

[stoic quarry]

Similar to other certs that are meant to be in the same sort of tier, no?

[trim acorn]

you compare the "other" certs that here is been for years with a very new one? (as i saw it got released today)

like cysa or btl1 etc

[stoic quarry]

Not really

Just comparing the price

[trim acorn]

i donno although maybe ill take it after cyberops and cdsa i was planning to spend 1k on certs anyways

[knotty pendant]

[stoic quarry]

Fair enough, if it takes off then you'll be in a good place

If not, then it's still a cert

[orchid dome]

Something Beluga would say

Ask Hecker for real stuff

[mossy river]

What's up? :)

[median thorn]

I sent y privately if y don't mind

[rapid merlin]

@mossy river Hey can i get unbanned

I was 0xD God here, before

I got banned

[mossy river]

What account were you banned on?

[rapid merlin]

On the platform

I mailed you guys

No one responded

[worn compass]

Hello

[mossy river]

I don't manage the support inbox I'm afraid - what is your username?

[orchid dome]

Reason you were given?

[rapid merlin]

Oh username?

Tusk

[mossy river]

I don't see anything on my side, you will need to wait for support to get back to your email.

[rapid merlin]

Can I dm you

[mossy river]

Sure

[zealous shell]

Ohhh THM bans ppl accounts? Didn't knew that

[rapid merlin]

You gotta be the best in something bro

That's when someone else gets jelaous

And bans you

[magic isle]

Is there a way to deal with a shadow ban?

[stoic quarry]

Don't think they ban over jealousy lmao

[mossy river]

On what?

[magic isle]

Cod Warzone

[rapid merlin]

lopl

[mossy river]

You have to wait about a week unfortunately, their support won't be able to do anything either but if it persists after a week try emailing them

[magic isle]

Damn

It be happening about every other week

[carmine tinsel]

nah man I think the mods just can’t handle that they’re a god

[rapid merlin]

Warzone is shit anyway

[carmine tinsel]

😤

[naive violet]

This user was incredibly rude, repeatedly, to staff. The "best" at being an awful person perhaps? Not a great accomplishment.

[magic isle]

I love the game but the banning system is shi

[mossy river]

Skill issue

[orchid dome]

No more God, everyone got demoted, lol

[magic isle]

Real

[rapid merlin]

Nah it's js the last time I played I got blatantly aimbotted on OL

[magic isle]

You right tho 😭

[zealous shell]

Ohhh so we got the official reason from the mod

[mossy river]

I play every now and then, haven't had any problems with cheater icl, maybe I don't play enough.. or care 😆

[magic isle]

I told you the banning system is shit

[magic isle]

Then you ain't in a high kd lobby

[rapid merlin]

yea it was like 2y ago and I've just never bothered playing since then LOL

[magic isle]

They are still around I ran into one last week

They he running alts with unlock tools

[naive violet]

That's not the full context, but yeah. Nothing resembling jealousy. Just them being an awful person.

[mossy river]

I know COD has a cheating problem but people will call out cheats for anything nowadays

I might have encountered a cheater but I'm there for the vibes, I couldn't care less about call of cuty anymore 🤣

[stoic quarry]

That's fair lol

I used to play a lot of PUBG solely to chat to friends. It was more of a background game

[silver sky]

Normally you are shadowbanned on reports from players while they investigate.

You can check if you are actually shadow banned by going to the Activision Ban Appeal page.

[orchid dome]

I have seen people playing PUBG while blasting music, like tf

[mossy river]

Exactly, I am there for my friends not for the game, some of my clips are hilarious lmao

[silver sky]

Me in ARMA Reforger

[rapid merlin]

arma used toe be rlly fun, idk what it's like now though lamo

[stoic quarry]

Some people (like me lol) don't play games for the competitive side, just wanna talk to friends and relax

[silver sky]

Fun as hell on the right server

[stoic quarry]

We'd suddenly lock in when one of us realized we were in the last 5 or something

[rapid merlin]

yeah idk I usually just ran around being a mass murdering psychopath 💀

[finite prairie]

hi, do you think a new ctf player have to read a lot of writeups to become better ?

[orchid dome]

I mentioned to my friend what I was doing and stuff. His first response, “help me get my old insta account back”

[stoic quarry]

It's not a bad idea if you're new. Kinda get the feel for what to do/what not to do

[orchid dome]

Now I am hurt 🙂

[stoic quarry]

But don't rely on writeups or you won't build any skill yourself

[rapid merlin]

Yep, I never really tell anyone, on the rare occasion I bother with people, that I know abt cybersec and stuff

[orchid dome]

Depends from person to person, you need the right mindset and approach, writeups can show you that

[rapid merlin]

It's always either: "hack my ex, get my old insta back, or dox someone"

literally always one of those

I suppose those two could technically be one

[orchid dome]

“Hack my ex” 😭

[rapid merlin]

yeah it happens a lot

[silver sky]

This is literally the average experience on my server. Just giggles

[rapid merlin]

literally 3-4 times a day

[crisp creek]

i'm just telling people that i'm a web developer

[rapid merlin]

ask anyone who's active here, they've probably gotten quite a few dms like it

I think people dm ryan (0day) that question a lot 💀

[silver sky]

My DMs are closed for a reason

[rapid merlin]

yep LOIL

[orchid dome]

A day?

[stoic quarry]

That's amazing lmao

[rapid merlin]

I had mine off at one point

[orchid dome]

Lmao

[rapid merlin]

Not so much now, but yeah during Christmas - New Year, it's bad

Post summer aswell

Basically Sept - New Year

[orchid dome]

There are insta accounts charging money in the name of “hacking insta account”

[rapid merlin]

All the summer flings are ending and the control freaks get angry

[orchid dome]

Ahh, the breakup season

[stoic quarry]

One of them just had some big case against him, rightfully so lol

[rapid merlin]

Yeah they're always scams

[rapid merlin]

Yeah all the summer one night stands are coming to an end lmao

[stoic quarry]

https://www.404media.co/meta-lawsuit-unlocked-4-life-idriss-qibaa-instagram-extortion/

I think this guy was bragging about extortion on podcasts, so fair enough that he got sued lmao

[rapid merlin]

yeah LOL

[orchid dome]

Computer science majors deserve a nice, cute gf as well 🥲

[stoic quarry]

Doesn't seem like a criminal case though, so maybe not legally extortion

[stoic quarry]

Can you not run GTAV in offline mode?

[orchid dome]

Lol, the business idea 😭

[rapid merlin]

yeah I ran it in single player only and it still flags it

[stoic quarry]

Didn't know they use Battleeye, guess no steam deck for GTAOnline

[stoic quarry]

Gross

[rapid merlin]

yea it broke a lot of gta cheats and the online playerbase dropped pretty hard

cause a lot of people used to mod in money to mess around with friends and things LOL

[stoic quarry]

I forgot how much of a cashcow GTAOnline was for Take2

[rapid merlin]

I just saw a video on a robot that’s been built like a person with all the stringy bits 😭 why’s it so creepy

[orchid dome]

GTAOnline is just the online version of V right?

[stoic quarry]

Yeah

It's been making money for years I believe

[idle mica]

A money printing machine lol

[rapid merlin]

yea a few hundred mill a year

[stoic quarry]

Dripfeeding content does that yk

[orchid dome]

Was about to say🤣

They got a better printer coming out this year

[stoic quarry]

Wonder if they'll shut it down before VI

They kinda have to right, you don't want people staying on the old game, push them onto the new one to get a few more bucks

[carmine tinsel]

Computer science students deserve a better major

[crisp creek]

i remember years ago when they were showcasing only some of these white fibers on a leg

[rapid merlin]

Never really been a possibility for me lmao

[orchid dome]

Nah, the respect you get when you say Comp Sci is different

[idle mica]

Thank you! I haven't taken the other ones. I probably will when I do a review on them, but overall I think SAL1 is pretty good. Very similar to the day to day SOC work at L1 and covers some good knowledge areas

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @open ermine (current: #2700 - 1)

[rapid merlin]

I don't rlly connect to anyone lol

[stoic quarry]

You're on here, that's some sort of social connection at least

[orchid dome]

He meant sexually, or atleast he meant in the sexual dynamics

[stoic quarry]

😐

[rapid merlin]

I meant in general lmao

[worn compass]

Hello

[carmine tinsel]

respect? Bro normal people think we don’t shower lol

[stoic quarry]

People who are in IT will respect a CompSci graduate, people outside of IT will assume you're scared of showers, yeah

[orchid dome]

Do we? I mean I don’t do it everyday, thrice a week

[carmine tinsel]

Girl that shit is nasty

Wdym 3 times a week

[orchid dome]

Tf u mean girl 😭

[crisp creek]

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-throw-away-brain-spongebob-gif-8612783

[orchid dome]

Means, in winters, I shower once every 2 days 💀

[sick lance]

Shower daily.

[orchid dome]

Taking a shower isn’t the issue, its removing all the winter clothes, I ain’t doing that kind of labour

[stoic quarry]

Just soak in a bath until the fabric dissolves

[sand trench]

brb gonna repost this on 1st of january 2026

[sick lance]

I barely wear clothes, I workout at an outdoor gym and the members are in big winter jackets under armours and such.

And I'm on shorts and vest.

[rapid merlin]

Sounds like you’re describing me 😂

[sick lance]

Doing Burpees in the snow.

[stoic quarry]

I love the cold, so that sounds amazing

[rapid merlin]

I swear you said you were in a hot tub earlier. Where is there snow and hot tubs

[sand trench]

snow is fun

until it melts and becomes slush

[sick lance]

It's not snowing right now. 😅

I was referring to when I workout

[rapid merlin]

Ohh okay

[stoic quarry]

They got saunas in some snowy countries

I'm sure of it

[rapid merlin]

Thought you may have been on holiday

[rapid merlin]

Ya

I should shower but I’m so lazy and the sofa is toasty

[sand trench]

well finland basically invented saunas and they got plenty of snow

[stoic quarry]

I read 'toasty' as 'tasty' ngl

[sand trench]

same

[stoic quarry]

That's the one I was thinking of

[sick lance]

Hot tub done, now to start a fire in the fireplace and chill.

[thorn scaffold]

what are saunas actually supposed to accomplish to a human body?

[stoic quarry]

Warm

[thorn scaffold]

i have been once and have felt very uncomfortable

[rapid merlin]

I wouldn’t bite her sofa, it’s crushed velvet. 🤮 imagine the texture

[stoic quarry]

Like a velvet cake, just extra spongy

[thorn scaffold]

but being in very hot water out in the open in winter slaps

[rapid merlin]

Like cleanse the skin, sweat out toxins

[wooden totem]

Because of the naked people or the hot moisture

[thorn scaffold]

hahah, fortunately there havent been any naked people

it was because of the hot air basically

it just didnt work for me

[sick lance]

Ice bath > suana

[thorn scaffold]

i guess i should try it multiple times in order to understand it

[wooden totem]

They can both not exist

Basically torture

[rapid merlin]

I really liked the sauna but there was also three shower like rooms. One was like a warm and heavy rain, it was really nice.

[idle mica]

nuh uhhh

[rapid merlin]

True ig lol

[orchid dome]

My first time in Sauna made me realise I have ADHD 🤣

[wooden totem]

The rain room is epic

[silver sky]

Saunas are great

[rapid merlin]

I do love rain but unfortunately the cold weather seems to be getting to me in my old age

[silver sky]

I remember going in one to cut weight before my last fight

[rapid merlin]

Why

[wooden totem]

Isn't that just dehydration

[rapid merlin]

Fighters have to drop weight to meet the requirements. Like you have certain weights go against each other so it’s fair

[orchid dome]

They said you need to keep everything out, including phones and stuff, I did and felt that unease caused by lack of hyperactivity

[rapid merlin]

I don’t think it would dehydrate him that much

[stark pasture]

Any coupon discount for annual membership?

[rapid merlin]

But yeah people also cut water for definition too when they’re going for definition in competitions

[thorn scaffold]

maybe you're just addicted to dopamine from the phone, like a lot of people

dont put labels on yourself like that

[orchid dome]

AOC in December, New year in January, don’t know any current ones

[rapid merlin]

Just bounce your leg

[orchid dome]

Well I thought ADHD is basically that addiction, it’s something more serious? 🤨

Hyperactivity disorder….

[wooden totem]

You get tired very quickly in that temperature

[rapid merlin]

ADHD is a lot of things but addiction is a side affect

[orchid dome]

How are you 0x9 but a member for only 6 days? 🤨

[thorn scaffold]

he probably did thm a lot before joining the server

[rapid merlin]

Nah if he has adhd he won’t get tired from that. I was do 9k steps and shake my leg from the moment I wake up and go to sleep and still get up.

[orchid dome]

Oh its the date of joining THM discord 😅

[thorn scaffold]

is shaking the leg also the sign of adhd? if so im like number one person with adhd

[rapid merlin]

He’s caught me boys, get him! 😂

[wooden totem]

I don't have to pay for a sauna, I just exercise in my hoodie and get wet in seconds

[rapid merlin]

I’m an old lady shapeshifter

[hot cairn]

it can be many things

[carmine tinsel]

do baddies with adhd shake their ass instead

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/mumei-dance-mumei-ghost-dance-gif-23829509

[hot cairn]

consult a doctor if you think you have it tbh

[orchid dome]

Same here, got it with my swimming subscription

[thorn scaffold]

nah i dont think i have it

[wooden totem]

Too much work

[orchid dome]

Old and sweet, unless you are a grandma, I don’t see it

[rapid merlin]

My doctor said I scored high for adhd, first test I’ve scored high on 😎

[wooden totem]

Literally, to shake your buttocks you need a lot of muscles to be active at once

[orchid dome]

Congrats 🥳

[rapid merlin]

I’m pretty old yeah

Coughing up dust now

[hot cairn]

unlock any dlc yet?

[orchid dome]

We needed someone like you in the community

[thorn scaffold]

do you have adhd?

[carmine tinsel]

no lol

[rapid merlin]

Did you run out of old people

[orchid dome]

Try connecting remotely when you go 6 feet under

[thorn scaffold]

too bad

[wooden totem]

There's so many jokes I would've said by now, but I can't

[rapid merlin]

You’re living underground !?

[orchid dome]

Nah, I meant when u expire

[rapid merlin]

Or am I dead

😆

[hot cairn]

isnt that just being in a basement

[rapid merlin]

Fs

[orchid dome]

🙂

[rapid merlin]

I’ve always wanted to be in a basement

But the new build houses don’t have it

[wooden totem]

Hear me out, gaming bunker

[orchid dome]

With RGB lights

A good AC

[thorn scaffold]

man cave basement, a dream of every man

[orchid dome]

Warm blankets

[hot cairn]

ngl, most places ive seen r unfinished basements lol

[rapid merlin]

That sounds pretty cool

[rapid merlin]

In England there isn’t any in the new houses

[fringe nacelle]

Sup peepos

[hot cairn]

but is there beans on toast

[orchid dome]

In that case, Let the grandpa have one in the future

[rapid merlin]

I had a fry up the other day, first time I’ve had beans in ages

[orchid dome]

No breakfast without it😂

[wooden totem]

Hypothetical question, would irs let you die if you locked yourself in a bunker and you owed money to them, but there is a hatch big enough only for food and someone is bringing you food to survive, would they stop the person giving you food in order to get you out, but you would rather die, would they still not give you food

[orchid dome]

Your name fits

[carmine tinsel]

hypothetical question, is the imposter sus

[thorn scaffold]

what are your guys opinions on project managers

[hot cairn]

how many story points is an answer worth

and whats the t-shirt size

[thorn scaffold]

5 points

its worth

[orchid magnet]

[thorn scaffold]

youve been trapped by thm to care about levels

[carmine tinsel]

ohhhh

[rapid merlin]

I’m learning on so many platforms right now

[orchid magnet]

I figured out that PentesterLab is great for Modding Payloads like XSS to bypass common WAF Rules

[carmine tinsel]

im on thm and portswigger may join pentesterlab if i end up flopping later on

[orchid magnet]

The Free Labs are so great and no Upgrade is really needed. The payload mods are so great

[carmine tinsel]

omg ok that sounds great

[jagged yarrow]

Great to read - did you pass - or assessment still on going?

[carmine tinsel]

[fossil merlin]

What's good gang?

[fossil merlin]

It's fun

My partner and I are learning Cobol 😳

[rapid merlin]

I’m looking at MITM processes

[fossil merlin]

Fucking bro I cannot get these old heads to stop clicking sus email links.

[upper minnow]

my company sends fake phishing emails every quarter or so

if you click on them 3 times youre fired

[fossil merlin]

Fuck imma start doing that.

[fossil merlin]

If they click em three times the company needs to start training their people more

[upper minnow]

i clicked once BUT ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS VERY SIMILAR TO AN EMAIL I WAS EXPECTING

[thorn scaffold]

does the company also hold some classes about phishing emails?

[upper minnow]

yea

[loud marlin]

yes. i reinstall whole os

[fossil merlin]

My thoughts exactly

[idle mica]

Yes sir, I managed to snag first blood on the exam!

[thorn scaffold]

well thats kinda the point of all phishing emails hahah

[shut hawk]

top 1% TryHackMe 😎

[idle mica]

My greatest achievement lmfao

[loud marlin]

and will deep dive into luks header backup and restore. cos... ya know... lesson learned

[fossil merlin]

As the IT guy I dont like the word "fired" unless things get to cartoonish levels of stupidity, people need to trust us to not get them in trouble if shit goes wrong.

[idle mica]

I can't progress any further because I have 69 rooms completed. It'd be a shame to ruin it 😭

[fossil merlin]

Pro-tip. You'll never have to worry about phishing if you simply don't check your emails. ☺️ 👉👈

[rapid merlin]

There’s some lectures on the MIT website right on cyber ?

[blazing granite]

that works 100% of the time 😉 😂 😛

[loud marlin]

yep. work all time 100%

just not my password

i also get that i can add more than one luks key and so

[blazing granite]

I don't have much experience with luks

[loud marlin]

i do hehehe

[idle mica]

My biggest fear is an important email getting caught in a filter for the bajillion automated emails I receive

[loud marlin]

just this time i didnt do LVM

[idle mica]

It luks pretty cool, huh

[loud marlin]

not if header gets corupted and you didnt backup it

[blazing granite]

I did LVM with luks for a laptop once, but that's my whole expecience 🙂

[blazing granite]

I used it once, so I have no much expecience with that

[loud marlin]

next step is to separate partition and encrypt only os and separate user space

[idle mica]

Too much work, went back to my macbook

[blazing granite]

and you can use clonzilla to do an image, it works with luks.

[loud marlin]

worst part is that i lost my Hannah Montana linux VM

[blazing granite]

it's good to have an image that you can throw to the disk and not go into the pain of installing everything, the installing is not the worst part, do all those tweaks to leave the linux the way you wanted that's the worst

[loud marlin]

will deep dive into all of that for sure. soon™️

at last i got my terminal back

[fossil merlin]

Gang

[rapid merlin]

Do you know if jabba got rid of his phone after the new laws in the uk

[sick lance]

Probably not

[rapid merlin]

what new laws

[mossy river]

I haven't, however I'm not buying another iPhone

[rapid merlin]

I can’t get rid of it until it’s payed off 🥲

[mossy river]

I stopped supporting iPhone about a year ago, they make too many choices that are anti-consumer

[rapid merlin]

I only got it for the security

[mossy river]

I have a few more months until I pay off mine, but I will be moving to Nothing phone

[rapid merlin]

Not sure what that means

[loud marlin]

will know if yes/no after reboot. when im done with restore things...

[rapid merlin]

I might buy google pixel

[sick lance]

Nothing is a model

[devout palm]

I am gonna use nokia 3310

[rapid merlin]

Ohhh

[devout palm]

https://tenor.com/view/nokia-press-gif-18099067

Fr this phone is goated

[sand trench]

shadow likes their fairphone 5

[rapid merlin]

If someone tried to mug you, you could use the phone as a weapon

[sick lance]

2g/3g disable 2933

2g

2033

[rapid merlin]

huh

elabroate

The nothing phone looks cool

[loud marlin]

grapheneOs works nice for sure

[mossy river]

On which part?

[rapid merlin]

"Nothing Phone"

[sand trench]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_(company)

[mossy river]

It's a phone brand

[rapid merlin]

ah

[mossy river]

It's a cheap phone, good features

[sand trench]

shadow absolutely loves their fairphone 5

the repairability is such nice

[rapid merlin]

£600 💀

[sand trench]

the ability to carry multiple batteries and just swap them when one is dead

[mossy river]

Most new android and iPhone models are >1k+

[rapid merlin]

and are basically all the same 💀

[flint sluice]

G'morning Yabbaba ❤️

[mossy river]

Exactly

[mossy river]

omg vargy!! ❤️

[rapid merlin]

I'm probably js gonna get a pixel, or not use a phone at all idk

[sand trench]

fairphone 5 is in the 630 euro range for the 256GB model

high 500:s for 128GB model

[sick lance]

Eh, pixel is ok

[devout palm]

I have xiaomi

[sand trench]

yeah google pixel phones are also nice

[devout palm]

cheap and useful

[loud marlin]

yea. grapheneOs is easy to set. webUI way

[sand trench]

just shadow wants the repairability

[devout palm]

idc about data privacy on phone

[loud marlin]

on pixel ofc

[rapid merlin]

Or I might just get some cheap nokia

[sand trench]

grapheneOS is basically only for google pixels and is the defacto standard for secure and private android based operating system

[loud marlin]

indeed. bit annoying to manage. but it works great

[pallid lotus]

An interesting take

[rapid merlin]

What do you recommend ?

[mossy river]

I'm between Nothing and Xiaomi, but I don't really want to spend much on the next phone

[devout palm]

Yeah not very useful for me. Since there is internet.

[whole yew]

https://pine64.org/devices/pinephone/

[devout palm]

I only use WhatsApp and phone calls/sms

[rapid merlin]

WhatsApp is bad

[devout palm]

I have to use it

Because everyone else uses it

[pallid lotus]

Why?

[sand trench]

shadows fairphone 5 will get security updates to 2031-09 if nothing changes
feature updates to at least 2026-08

[mossy river]

Alright question for the Discord server

Take £1 Million right now or flip a coin for a billion

[devout palm]

Flip

[sick lance]

Flip

[rapid merlin]

1 million

[sick lance]

Started with nothing

[pallid lotus]

Who provides the coin?

[mossy river]

Fresh coin from the bank

[sick lance]

Yer maw

[devout palm]

We take it from the billion

[pallid lotus]

Is it from my bank?

[mossy river]

Sure? 😆

[rapid merlin]

I would use the million to start a program to help women and children

[sand trench]

1 million pounds right now

[pallid lotus]

Right. Okay. I'll provide the coin then.
In that case, I flip.

[devout palm]

so you have 999,999,999

Wait 1 pound isn't a coin

Screw it

[sand trench]

sure 1 billion great british pounds would be lovely but the garantue of 1 million is nothing to scoff at

[pallid lotus]

Eh?

[sick lance]

Yes it is

[devout palm]

Is it?

Self contradiction

[sand trench]

anyways shadow is gonna go have a nice sleep sloop to beep boop while meep moop rest now

Never seen one. That's ironic

[sick lance]

English will say it's fake.

[pallid lotus]

English can do one

[devout palm]

I hope i find it on the street

[pallid lotus]

Their opinion is outwith the realm of reality

[sick lance]

I've had a few before

[devout palm]

I need to find 3 to afford a THM cert

[pallid lotus]

Modest much

[sick lance]

Huh. Mine was paid into my bank account

[idle mica]

https://tenor.com/view/infinity-money-gun-stand-up-maths-gif-27022250

[pallid lotus]
